DEVICE FOR DRESSING BILLIARD-CUE TIPS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 12, 1918.

Application filed July 24, 1915. Serial No. 41,808.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE L. Roonns, a citizen of the United States,residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certainImprovements in Devices for Dressing Billiard-Cue Tips, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to cuttingor abrading implements; and the object ofmy invention is to provide a structure which may 7 be employed fordressing the tips of billiard cues when the same become worn or hard andout of true. My invention comprises a structure by means of which theend of the tip may be dressed and beveled to the proper tapersimultaneously with the dressing or trimming of the edge of such tip.

These and other features of my invention are more fully describedhereinafter, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l, is a sectional elevation of a dressing or trimming device madein accordance with my invention;

Fig. 2, is an inverted perspective view of the disk file member fordressing the end of the cue;

Fig. 3, is a perspective view of an annular file member for dressing theouter edge or surface of the cue tip, and

Figs. 4.- and 5, are sectional views illustrating modifications withinthe scope of my invention.

My structure comprises a receptacle hav ing a disk-like abrading surfaceat the bottom of the socket, with an annular wall notched or serrated toform a file-like surface to engage the edge of the one tip.

In the drawings, 1 represents a sleeve hav- Copies of this patent may beobtained for ing an inner shoulder 2 adapted to receive an annularfile-like collar 3. Disposed on top of this file-like collar is aconcaved disklike member 4 having a plurality of substantially radialprojections forming teeth to provide an abrading surface for the end ofthe one tip. The outer sleeve 1 is threaded at 6 and receives a holder7, which may have a shoulder 8 to engage said sleeve, thereby holdingthe parts in proper operative position.

While the preferred form of my construction is one in which the fileplate and file ring are removably secured in a suitable casing having ahandle, it will be obvious that the file plate may he made integral withthe handle portion, and that the file ring may be made integral with thesleeve secured to such handle portion; such constructions being shown inFigs. and 5.

I claim:

1. In a one tip dressing device, the combination of a socketed memberhaving a. concaved bottom with radial teeth forming an abrading surface,an annular ring with cutting teeth on its inner surface mounted adjacentsaid radial teeth, and means for securing said socketed member andannular ring together.

2. A one tip dressing device comprising a sleeve having an annularshoulder near its lower end, an annular cutter in the sleeve restingupon said shoulder, a cutting disk resting upon the upper face of theannular cutter, and means in the sleeve in contact with the disk to holdthe latter in position and thereby hold both disk and annular eutter inthe sleeve.

GEORGE L. ROGERS.
